Your company is considering a decision of relocating to another country. You have been given the job of researching different alternatives for relocation. Your report will help the board decide where to relocate, and will help the employees know what to expect in a new country. The company is considering Costa Rica, Saudi Arabia, and Germany. Your task is to review the legal system and policing style in these countries and produce a 3- to 4-page report in a Microsoft Word document addressing the following: What is the dominant policing style of each country? How do the police in each country deal with issues of human rights? Are there any protections in place for the citizens? Do the countries face any terrorism issues? Would a US company be at risk? Are there any activities that are legal in the United States but are illegal in the other countries? If an employee (or the company) were to be prosecuted for a crime, what kind of trial system (adversarial or inquisitorial) would be in effect? After reviewing the three countries, conclude your report by explaining: Which country’s police and legal systems seem to most closely resemble the systems of the United States? Which country would you recommend the company to choose? Why? You may choose to address each of the above-mentioned points for all three countries or review each country separately. The Central Intelligence Agency’s World Factbook is a good starting place for information on other countries. Support your responses with examples. Cite any sources in APA format.

A persistent controversy in criminal justice involves determining the age at which a juvenile should be held accountable for his or her actions. With this context in mind, respond to the following questions: What factors influence an adolescent’s maturity and ethical development? Explain and provide appropriate reasoning for your answer. Should there be an across-the-board age limit that defines the border between the juvenile and adult criminal justice systems? Or should it vary on a case-by-case basis? Explain your reasoning. The 2005 Supreme Court decision in Roper v. Simmons represented a turning point in juvenile justice in the United States. Significantly, the majority opinion even referred to international opinion in the explanation of the justices’ reasoning. Should “international opinion” influence the decisions of the US Supreme Court? Why or why not? Choose another country and research its procedural law regarding juvenile offenders. Summarize for the class how the country you chose prosecutes and punishes (or treats) juvenile offenders. Are there any aspects of the other country’s procedures that could improve the US system? Explain. For more information on Persistent Controversyread this: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=Persistent+Controversy&title=Special%3ASearch&go=Go&ns0=1

Week 3 Project: Duties of a Prosecutor Supporting Lectures: Ethical SystemsEthics and Courts Trial Court Workgroup Prosecutors, as agents for the state, take an oath to uphold the Constitution and to seek justice on behalf of the state and its citizens. Summarize the duties of a prosecutor in a criminal case, emphasizing those tasks that allow the prosecutor to wield strong influence over the case. Discuss how these particular tasks might present the prosecutor with ethical dilemmas. Given that a defendant is considered innocent until proven guilty under the American judicial system, is the prosecutor also required to consider the defendant as being among the citizens he or she is protecting? Identify and explain the conflicting moral imperatives present in the duties of a prosecutor. Recap the landmark Supreme Court case Brady v. Maryland (1963). Discuss the ramifications of this decision for prosecutors, with an emphasis on the ethical conflicts that may result. Discuss the prosecutor’s ethical responsibilities when faced with a case that he or she would rather not pursue. For instance, consider a case in which a formerly battered wife is accused of attempted murder against her husband. Explain whether the “ethics of duty” or “ethics of care” outweigh utilitarianism for criminal prosecutors.
